Strong character development: Yes

The first third of the book is incredibly slow, but once the pace picks up it really picks up. I've always found the main character of this series hard to swallow, but this book did a great job breaking down her trauma. Exploring the trauma of the other characters was also very well done.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Emotional abuse, Rape, Sexual assault, Torture, Toxic relationship

This book deals a lot with the abuse and torture of the characters from previous books, as well as an abusive and controlling relationship from a previous book. Nothing is described in too much detail, but it is mentioned often and is a big point in the book.
